Introducing the stunning Tradescantia Pallida 'Purpurea' – a dramatic trailing houseplant with deep purple foliage that adds instant colour and contrast to any room. Sometimes called the Purple Heart Plant, it's a bold choice for shelves, hanging baskets, or trailing over containers.

Native to northeastern Mexico, this low-maintenance plant is a favourite for beginners and seasoned collectors alike. Its vibrant foliage and fast-growing habit make it a brilliant addition to modern and maximalist interiors alike.

This variety features slender, pointed leaves in a rich purple hue, with new leaves emerging an even deeper shade. The undersides of the leaves glow with a metallic sheen, and the stems can cascade elegantly over time, giving it fantastic movement and texture.

Your plant arrives in a plastic nursery pot approx. W12cm and is ready to thrive in your home or make a thoughtful, long-lasting gift. If you’re gifting, we can include a free handwritten card — just leave your message at checkout, and we’ll handle the rest, discreetly and beautifully packaged.

Native habitat and growth pattern
In the wild, Tradescantia Pallida grows in warm, dry subtropical regions, often as ground cover or in rocky outcrops. Indoors, it enjoys similar conditions — bright light, warmth, and well-draining soil. It can be easily propagated from cuttings, and with the right care, it quickly forms a trailing mat of vibrant foliage.

Styling tips

  • Perfect for hanging baskets, macramé holders or high shelves

  • Adds contrast to neutral interiors or green plant collections

  • Works well in minimalist rooms needing a pop of colour

  • Ideal as a trailing feature in a sunny windowsill

Tradescantia Pallida 'Purpurea' care guide

Light requirements:
Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate a few hours of direct sun. The more light it gets, the more vivid the purple foliage becomes.

Watering:
Water when the top few inches of soil feel dry. Soak through, then let it drain completely — never leave it sitting in water.

Feeding:
Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced fertiliser. We recommend our Original Vegan Plant Food, formulated from seaweed and natural nutrients.

Humidity:
Tolerates average indoor humidity well, though appreciates occasional misting in dry homes.

Pet safety:
Tradescantia is considered mildly toxic to pets if ingested. It’s best kept out of reach of curious cats and dogs.

Propagation:
Simple to propagate via stem cuttings — root them in water or straight into soil. A great choice for sharing with friends or growing a fuller pot.

Why choose this plant?

  • Stunning purple foliage and trailing habit

  • Very easy to grow and propagate

  • A bold alternative to green houseplants

  • Perfect for gifting or adding texture to your indoor garden

  • Fast-growing and ideal for styling

FAQs

Will the purple colour fade indoors?
Only if it's in low light. Place it somewhere bright and the colour will stay vibrant.

Can I prune it?
Yes — snip leggy stems to encourage bushier growth. You can replant the cuttings!

How fast does it grow?
Very fast in the right conditions. Expect lots of new growth in spring and summer.

Worth viewing and studying.
First major Kubrick feature film noir. Nothing about Sterling Hayden's Communism here. Cool caper with a classic cast. The flick provides an impactful reminder to never skimp on low quality luggage, to use a double lock, and to take time whenever possible to bundle your cash with rubber bands. "While playing chess in Washington Square, Kubrick met producer James B. Harris, who considered Kubrick to be "the most intelligent, most creative person I have ever come in contact with", and the two formed the Harris-Kubrick Pictures Corporation in 1955.[52] Harris purchased the rights to Lionel White's novel Clean Break for $10,000,[g] and upon Kubrick's suggestion, they hired film noir novelist Jim Thompson to write the script for the film—which later became The Killing (1956)—about a meticulously planned racetrack robbery gone wrong. The film starred Sterling Hayden, with whom Kubrick had been impressed in The Asphalt Jungle (1950).[54] Kubrick and Harris moved to Los Angeles from New York and signed with the Jaffe Agency to shoot the picture, which became Kubrick's first full-length feature film shot with a professional cast and crew. The Union in Hollywood stated that Kubrick would not be permitted to be both the director and the cinematographer of the movie, so veteran cinematographer Lucien Ballard was hired for the shooting. Kubrick agreed to waive his fee for the production, which was shot in just 24 days on a budget of $330,000.[55] He clashed with Ballard during the shooting, and on one occasion Kubrick threatened to fire Ballard following a camera dispute, despite being only 27 years old at the time and 20 years Ballard's junior.[54] Hayden recalled that Kubrick was "cold and detached. Very mechanical, always confident. I've worked with few directors who are that good".[56] The Killing failed to secure a proper release across the United States; the film made little money, and was promoted only at the last minute, as a second feature to the Western movie Bandido! (1956). Several contemporary critics lauded the film, however, with a reviewer for TIME comparing its camerawork to that of Orson Welles.[57] Today, critics generally consider The Killing to be among the best films of Kubrick's early career; its nonlinear narrative and clinical execution also had a major influence on later directors of crime films, including Quentin Tarantino. Dore Schary of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer was highly impressed as well, and offered Kubrick and Harris $75,000 to write, direct, and produce a film, which ultimately became Paths of Glory (1957)."

Quintessential 50's Kubrick Noir!
Criterion continues to keep them coming. The Killing(1956), Stanley Kubrick's great noir adds to the recent influx of Criterion's recent titles in 2011, which closely follows Kiss Me Deadly(1955). What a feast for Noir addicts! Now we have another pristine upgrade of a print which greatly improves past releases in both quality as well as great special features. This time we get two jam filled discs of a very important Noir. This two-dvd special edition includes a bounty of goodies for lovers of Noir. There is a new digital restoration, which is excellent, as well as a new interview with producer James B Harris. Interviews with lead actor Sterling Haden, who is excellent in his role as the small-time criminal who plans a dangerous race-track heist with help from a corrupt cop, and an interview with author Robert Polito about writer Jim Thompson. That is just on the first disc, Disc two includes a richly restored high-def digital transfer of Kubrick's 1955 feature Killer's Kiss, new video appreciation of Killer's Kiss by film critic Geoffrey O'Brien, and a new trailer. Of course, you also get a 20 page booklet featuring an essay by film historian Haden Guest and an interview with actress Marie Windsor, which is a reprint but still quite good. Now on to the feature. The Killing was Kubrick's 3rd feature, and to most film historians, the one that put him on the map, although some people would favor Paths Of Glory which was released in the next year 1957 as his breakthrough as a major director. I beg to differ. The Killing is told in a non-linear style which many movie goers have difficulty following, even now in the 21st Century. But to lovers of Noir, by 1956 they had become quite used to it and had no problem with it. In fact, many noir lovers enjoyed putting the pieces together which to them, only added to the experience. The film displays what has become a very familiar Kubrick theme. That is the breakdown, malfunction or fallibility of man and his plans. Just as in Kubrick's subsequent films such as Dr. Strangelove and further on to 2001:A Space Odyssey which became major mainstream successes. His manipulation of time in bits and pieces differs most strikingly from 40's Noir, such as The Killers and Out Of The Past. As players inthis game are established, the film leaps backwards until all of the parts fit together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. The well planned heist falls apart just like the suitcase full of money falls off a cart and scatters the bills in the wind. Just as they say, "The Best Laid Plans". In addition to Hayden, the other members of the heist, especially Vince Edwards, Elisha Cook Jr, and especially Timothy Carey, are all excellent. Most definitely, pay the extra money and get this edition. SMRZ!!!

Worth Watching Crime Drama
I almost stopped watching this film early on because I found the behavior of the cashier's wife so annoying and insufferable. I stuck with it though. It is almost as if it is a crime re-enactment show because of the voiceover narration. In one of the close to final scenes, I thought "This is Kubrick, alright." It is interesting that I watched a film yesterday, "Dead End" in which some of the characters believe that the only life worth living is one with material wealth as do some of the characters in this film. How sad. Maybe that belief is what kills what has real worth. Maybe it is that belief that leads one to a dead end.

2 Early Kubrick Films in 1 Thrilling Package
The most important thing for the buyer to know about The Killing Criterion Blu-Ray is that it collects 2 of Stanley Kubrick’s earlier films: The Killing (1956) and Killer’s Kiss (1955). Even though the Killer’s Kiss title is not on the box, it is present as an extra, along with its trailer. Other than that, you can expect the usual from a Criterion Collection release. For those who don’t know, that means terrific quality and presentation, with loads of extra supplementary material. As far as the movies themselves go — unlike Fear and Desire, I can actually recommend these two movies as movies, as opposed to morbid curiosities of Kubrick fanatics. They are both pretty intense crime thrillers and just a ton of fun. This is Kubrick before he makes big studio movies with big budgets, but after he’s gained more of the experience and sophistication he would later be known for. The product feels raw, gritty, sometimes intimate, and gives you a look at his NYC roots. Kubrick is still an underdog at this stage in his career. So, would definitely recommend for Kubrick fans, and just crime thriller fans in general
